marcos said that ww3 already happened, but the developed countries called it the "cold war" because it didn't happen to them. it happened to the developing countries that lost millions of lives to violence and destruction.
he also said the 4th world war started almost immediately after the soviet collapse.

that's great insight
Western leaders understood the nature of the conflict they were in. Robert McNamara himself said "Cold War? Hell, it was a hot war!"
